Love of traditional American music led Dutch band to Shoals
But the banter among band members between songs such as “Will the Circle Be Unbroken,” “Rock Island Line” and “Old Dan Tucker,” might leave you guessing where they’re really from.
The three members of Acoustrio are from the Netherlands and they saved money from gigs they played during the past year to come to the Shoals.
Their love of American music and the role the Shoals plays in so many musical genres demonstrates the impact of the area and the Handy festival.
“(The Shoals has) a lot of historical relevance in music,” said guitarist Hugo Waltmann. “It’s great to hear all the great names that recorded here.”
Winand Hesselink, who plays harmonica and mandolin, is an admitted lover of American music, especially the blues, traditional folk music and gospel.
The story of how Acoustrio came to the Shoals involves a chance meeting between the band’s drummer and Florence resident Bill Matthews in a Belgian cafe.
Matthews was eating at a cafe and heard a man behind him say “thank you” in English. He engaged him in conversation, which led to the obligatory, “Where are you from?” question. The man, Jesse Monshouwer, was from the Netherlands, and Matthews replied that he was from Muscle Shoals.
Matthews said Monshouwer paused for a second, then repeated the famous line from Lynyrd Skynyrd’s southern anthem, “Sweet Home
Alabama.”
“Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers,” Monshouwer said.
“We sat for a couple hours talking about music,” Matthews recalled.
At the end of the conversation, Matthews invited Monshouwer and the rest of the band to his home in Killen.
The band traveled to the Shoals in May 2010, played a few shows and saw several music-related attractions.
“(Matthews) got us acquainted with all kinds of interesting people in the music business,” Waltmann said.
They also visited Nashville and Memphis.
“A lot of the music we knew already, but we didn’t know it was from Muscle Shoals,” Hesselink said. “We only knew Muscle Shoals from the song ‘Sweet Home
Alabama.’ ”
Hesselink plays harmonica like he grew up in the humid Mississippi Delta rather than the cool climate of Holland.
Hesselink said he learned more about the Shoals’ impact on American music through his 2010 visit and a tour of the Alabama Music Hall of Fame in Tuscumbia.
